Project Description

States of Mind: Tracing the Edges of Consciousness is an exhibition developed by Wellcome Collection to interrogate our understanding of the conscious experience.

Anna Faherty worked with Wellcome Collection’s curatorial and publishing teams and Hato Press to conceive, develop and project-manage the accompanying publication, States of Mind: Experiences at the Edge of Consciousness. The book is a collection of literature, science, philosophy and art, with a specially commissioned introduction by Mark Haddon, author of The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time.

States of Mind featured in the Observer as ‘paperback of the week’ and was awarded Best New Exhibition Catalogue at the 2017 Association for Cultural Enterprises Best Product Awards.

Anna is the safest ‘pair of hands’ I have ever encountered in publishing. She is a gifted writer, strategist and creative conceiver of projects as well as a meticulous editor and planner. A rare combination.
